Sorry, but you can’t lay this at MPD’s feet. Reporting and court documents were clear that MPD did not give chase when he fled.

Sorry, I was basing my comment on your description that "Little was going 76mph down Florida Avenue, NE in a stolen van attempting to evade police", which I interpreted as meaning that police were chasing him. I'll remove my other comment above.

No worries, mate. The politics and policies of high-speed chases are certainly difficult. They just weren’t at play here.

We'd need more information, I think. Police in DC have a pretty high bar for what merits a chase, and if he was armed & dangerous or something akin to that, imagine how the public would be crowing if they let him go and he then injured or killed somebody. Catch-22.
